subjuncitve

[karen sigley]

Hello all

i am new here and i joined because i would really appreciate some help in tackling the subjunctive!!!

I have been studying french for almost 4 years now and for the last 2 of those i have been taking courses with the Open University which i am really enjoying. I am hoping to live and work in France once i complete a degree in the language.

Anyway as i said i struggle with the subjunctive because i just don't understand when i am suppossed to use it???? I attempted a use at it the other day when talking to a friend i said "Tu vais me manquer quand j'aille" but i really don't know if it was suitable to use it in this sentance?!?!?!

So if anyone can help me with it i would be completely grateful.

 

Thanks in advance for any help i can get

Thanks Neil
I hope the following are fine.
Please tell me if it is still wrong.
I am horrible at writing French.

Tu me manques. [ I miss you.]

Je te manque. [ You miss me.]


Elle me manque. [ I miss her.]


Tu me manquais. [ I missed you.]

Je te manquais. [ You missed me.]

Yes Neil is right. Here you have to conjugate the verb into present form, it's the easiest tense. Plus it's a 1rst grp verb -er- which is the easiest grp to conjugate. To help you, the endings are: -e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent.

Thanks Isabelle
So all 5 sentences are fine.
You didn't find errors, do you?
